  “This is the 3rd Herrons I've visited over the last number of years and again it definitely didn't disappoint. 100% the best fried chicken in the country. Always fresh and always delicious. No wonder the KFC directly across the street was empty. Herrons was queued out the door when I arrived at 6pm and I was sitting eating upstairs at 6.10 as the front of house team are super efficient at their job. Well done everyone.”

  “Has went down hill drastically.. massively disappointed.. how they can charge so much when the quaility of the food and the service has went downhill so bad.. its 10000% worth the price if the food quaility is there but thats the last 3 times we have been left with totally inedible food and had to go elsewhere.. how our food ended up so bad I just can't get my head round, something could be said for how busy the place was but you'd think they'd be more than used to that after a few decades dealing with being the one spot in Newcastle people talk all year about.. I dont understand how not one person even checked our food before it left.. never in all the years from I was a kid, I know bring my own kids and grandkids well Used to anyway as we won't be back.. I mean our family litterly all year will talk about the food how amazing it is, sometimes we'll even take the 2hr drive down just to sit by the beach and eat what used to be amazing food.. how what left that shop made it out that kitchen as acceptable from whoever in charge of quaility control.. oh aye and no drinks eaither.. Things are getting to tight out there to be wasting that sort of money on something your 8 yr old could make you with a bag of frozen chips and an air fryer atleast they'd be edible..”

  “Called in with the family. I definitely preferred this over the likes of KFC. Chips=gorgeous Chicken= stunning chicken gravy= to die for. Seating area upstairs reminds me of the eating places in the 90s but the food was well worth the visit.”

  “Heather, where do I begin… from the food to the service, the atmosphere to the over all experience was just appalling. You gave me nothing cheek. Shocked to the core from my herrons experience and will never ever return.”

  “"Northern Ireland, can we have KFC?" "We have KFC at home!" KFC at home: Country Fried Chicken (now Herron's) I say that phrase with absolute affection. Country Fried Chicken is a place that is so good it genuinely elevates the quality of fried chicken across the country. Store-to-store quality may vary, but on the whole this place is a great place to eat, at Newcastle is no exception. Although that is probably not true, as this one is exceptional. The staff are friendly, the service is fast, the food is great, all the hallmarks of a good take-away. I didn't mention it in my KFC review, but these take-outs being on opposite sides of the road really elevates how good both chains over here are. By having this friendly competition rather than an outright monopoly, both chains are free to expand in different directions for different customers, and as such seem to strive to be better places to eat in general. A very positive relationship that results in many a satisfied customer, myself included!”

  “"Country Fried Chicken" establishment located on Newcastle's busy Main Street. Takeaway or dine in up a flight of stairs on hygienically compromised table surfaces. Food may be described as "having potential for improvement in quality and presentation"! Free on street parking outside the premises.”

  “Gutted how bad this was. I love herrons and it can be hit and miss depending on which outlet but Newcastle has went to the dogs. Small portion, chicken was like rubber with a chemical taste and had zero skin on any piece so I don't know what the story was. And the smallest amount of taco I've ever had , usually it's swimming in it. Rathfrisland herrons is the only one that is still like it used to be . Hate giving a low mark as it used to be a 5 but like a lot of places now it's just nowhere near the way it used to be .”

  “Nothing completes our trip to Newcastle without herrons chicken and maids ice cream.. As usual food was great, staff were friendly and we were in and out of store quite quickly..”

  “The chicken in the burger was like a brick. £3 odd for the chicken to not even cover half of the bap. I'll never be back there again. Feel like dick Turpin himself has put his hand on Me. Robbed. For a local shop they should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously people. Go to KFC or a chippy. You'll be devastated with this shop.”
